JINKX!!!! The Devil's Chord | Doctor Who Series 14 Ep 2 | Ncuti | Millie | Season 1

[@jch13213]

Fun fact : The actress who played the older lady who was killed by Maestro after playing music was June Hudson, who was the Costume Designer in the last few years of Tom Baker's era, and designed his " maroon look" in season 18.

[@Neo-Gwydian]

The lyrics are actually "Snap back to reality, ope, there goes mavity".

[@infinityzer054]

“Mario”

[@Omni_G]

"Me. I'm them." "You're who?" "No, that's the Doctor." "Doctor who?"

[@Faction.Paradox]

Jinkx gave the most interesting delivery possible for every line, never making the easy or most obvious choice. The most delicious mix of camp & scary.

[@Stephen-Fox]

Apparently she did a different performance on each take as well, each after discussing with the director to figure out what was going through the character's head.

[@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg]

The Maestro performance is genuinely interesting. It has to walk that Doctor Who line, it can't be inherently terrifying because there are kids in the audience, but it needs to be at least unnerving. Maestro initially appears to be massively over the top, but the longer you watch, the more obvious it is that it's a 'performance'. So it slides across the line of suspended disbelief. And then you realize that if you genuinely met someone like that in reality - THAT would be terrifying. That would be a genuinely unhinged way for someone to act.

[@DerekHartley]

'The most delicious mix of camp & scary.' - And if that isn't Doctor Who in a nutshell.

[@jonathangmallender]

​@@Stephen-Fox you're absolutely right, Russell T.Davies was really impressed with the effort and hard work that Jinx put in. And I agree, it was a magnificent performance!

[@MrDportjoe]

Genius who found the chord? Son of the man who composed music for Dr Who 1982-85 eight episodes, the senior who remembered her music? Costume designer Dr WHO 78-81 32 episodes.

[@davidjrandall1979]

I loved the mix of diegetic and non-diegetic music in this. Ruby playing her own theme on the piano for one gave me chills

[@OldManFerdiad]

I hooted with laughter when The Doctor says "I thought that was non-diagetic"... like, has he been constantly distracted by Murray Golds score for years now?

[@davidjrandall1979]

@@OldManFerdiad I got distracted with Murray Gold's cameo on the piano during the end song :)

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@OldManFerdiad I think that's actually an important line. There's been a lot of fourth-wall breaking the last few episodes, including that, and I think it's intentional and related to the big bad "one who waits".

[@ThePonderer]

I adore this one. Maestro’s an instant classic villain, and I feel like anyone who doesn’t Hate Fun is gonna look back on this one fondly for years to come.

[@cairothetiefling_]

A cool detail- Ruby plays her own theme. She ‘wrote’ and plays it while she’s the only music left except maestro themself.

[@peterthorn8988]

O.K but I love that the after-effects of defeating a reality-warping villain got established in the Giggle so now a musical number at the end of an episode actually makes in-universe sense 😅 I haven't watched an episode this fun in ages!

[@ihateunicorns867]

There’s a big reference to Pyramids of Mars from Classic Who in this episode. The Doctor takes Sarah to show her an alternative future upon her insistence that she knows the world doesn’t end in 1911. I think this may be more than a coincidence. Maybe.

[@ianstopher9111]

Also in The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith, Sarah Jane is established as an orphan who was abandoned by her parents. She goes back to 1951 tempted by The Trickster (who has a sidekick in the schoolboy Oscar). When Sarah and Luke nip back to present day London it is a ruin and the Elizabeth Tower is partially buried and leaning.

I'm glad and impressed you know who Cilla is/was! I wondered how much of the international audience would have ever heard of her, especially as she's only briefly mentioned in this episode without really going into her biography. I'm not a Cilla superfan or anything but it's nice that you were able to get that reference.

[@Concreteowl]

Most people will know her now as the Suprise Suprise meme

[@PaulaDeming]

I was very chuffed to know her hehe

[@bigthecat100]

Cilla being featured in 2021's Last Night in Soho probably boosted people's awareness of her.

[@Skeezer66]

I only knew her from a song of hers being reacted to on an American music reaction channel (the Rob Squad) and all of her UK fans talking about her.

[@corringhamdepot4434]

Mrs Mills was a super famous sing-a-long pub style piano player. Her LP records were a must for family parties. She was one of EMIs biggest stars. Her specially tuned piano was at Abby Road studios and used on many 60s pop records, by many groups including the Beatles.

[@Newbunkle]

Maestro would've been a good villain for Capaldi to face. Let him put that guitar to good use.

[@toddkes5890]

Music Battle!

[@alexfletcher5192]

The behind-the-scenes things I find often more surprising. Like learning the genius composer at the start is the son of Radiophonic Workshop composer Roger Limb - whose edgy incidental music accompanied Classic Who stories like 'Caves of Androzani' and 'Revelation of the Daleks'. Just in case you thought Jinkx playing the bassnotes was the only meta moment.

[@aaronmcmahon7462]

Cilla is Cilla Black, a popular singer in the 60s and 70s, and like the Beatles, hails from Liverpool.

[@tank2045]

I never get tired of watching Maestro kick off the opening tune...

[@TheCagedCorvid]

I read a comment on another video and had to share its contents... there's a quote by someone called Jean-Michel Basquiat, "Art is how we decorate space, but music is how we decorate time"... seems very apt not only for this episode, but for the conversation afterwards too.

[@FromRussiaWithLuv007]

Ooooo that is a good quote

[@TheCagedCorvid]

@FromRussiaWithLuv007 it's beautiful. It's etched into my brain now, so I had to share it.

[@PaulaDeming]

oh, I like that. Thank you for sharing!

[@NicoleM_radiantbaby]

'someone called Jean-Michel Basquiat'....oh, as an artsy 80s kid and a HUGE Basquiat fan, that hurt my heart a little that people might not know who he was. Too bad, as he was soooo far ahead of his time and a brilliant light that went out far too soon (sadly one of the doomed '27 club'). If you ever want to get more of a feel for his story, I definitely recommend his biopic 'Basquiat' from 1996 -- it even has Bowie playing Andy Warhol in it. ❤

[@TheCagedCorvid]

@NicoleM_radiantbaby purely from that quote alone he's someone I'd like to know more about, so thanks for the recommendation 😊

[@AlmightyCRJ]

Also added to cameo central: the two people dancing in the corridor with Tardis Team - Johannes Radebe (Dancer) & Shirley Ballas (Judge) of Strictly Come Dancing. Shirley was the choreographer who did the "I'm still standing" video for Elton John.

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

I did catch Shirley , didn't notice Johannes , wouldn't be amazed if there were other Strictly people involved .

[@alexfletcher5192]

I prided myself on recognizing the billboard advertising the original name of John Smith & The Common Men, but it's taken until today for me to realise that Maestro is literally 'playing' the Tardis using a key on a piano. It was Eurovision night and drinks were consumed.

[@StillABigKid]

The worst people are gonna hammer the show for that song and dance routine- purely so the fighting over it fuels their engagement. Meanwhile RTD is like "don't say I didn’t warn you." I just get the feeling that scene is more important than we think.

[@TheMess9898]

Not really a spoiler...But there seems to be someone who has been in every episode since WILD BLUE YONDER. Lurking in the background, delivering one line here and there. But its been the same actress every episode. I find that interesting...

[@leavealoner]

so in the credits, there is in fact always a twist in the end... I wonder how it will tie in, but I have my suspicions

there's a huge amount of metaness going on in this season.

@@PaulaDeming Of course, that's not to say that I didn't enjoy the episode. I thought it was delightfully mad. And though my expression during the final "Twist" resembled the TARDIS crew's reaction to the Beatles singing about a dog, I've come around after processing it. After missing music for so long, of course there's going to be an explosion of music as it returns. It also follows the "Pandora's Box" that was opened after the confrontation with the Toymaker.

And gleefully watch as the wonder exits Paula.

11:41 Didn't you notice that they skipped 7 months of adventures between Space Babies and this episode? Ruby's first TARDIS trip was during Christmas but now it's July and Ruby knows the Doctor long enough to call him out saying that he never gives up when he says he can't defeat Maestro. I wonder if future episodes address this because they visited Carla's flat and then skipped to what happened there afterwards?

[@M-E_123]

More likely RTD is just building in gaps for future Big Finish / Multi Doctor / tie in novels or comics / cartoons to fill in - instead of trying to cram everything into the gap between Waters of Mars & End of Time like with Tennants first run - or ending up like Eccleston's only Season where there are no good / obvious gaps for future writers of spin off media to play around in due to how tight the continuity is between episodes - there's basically a gap between The Doctor Dances & Boom Town, so after Jack joins, but fitting in extra stories involving just the Doctor and Rose is tough without heavy handwaving.

Ruby remembers because of the first episode. When she stepped on the butterfly the Doctor had a throw away line, that he had to turn on the 'butterfly circuit whatever its called' .. For me this was the explanation how companions can remember altered timelines. He said something like "new face new configurations (something along this line) thats why she became a lizard.. :D

I honestly don't recognize the song that Ruby's playing as her theme at 9:20 but WhoCulture says it is sooo. Although I'm not sure I've heard The Doctors theme as distinctly as at the end of The Giggle, either. I want it to be as prevalent as I am The Doctor and I want to work out where the piano run-down is, in the bar.

I feel like there is something important in how Maestro knows they have an audience and is performing for that audience, is summoned by music but wants to destroy it, demands attention but ultimately wants solitude. Maybe everything set in motion when The Doctor invoked magic at the edge of the universe has more of an idea of their place in the narrative as characters. Perhaps only characters from outside of the baseline universe can have that awareness, even fleetingly, and break the fourth wall? Hmm, wasn't there a timeless child from another universe found...

Loved the episode, Jinkx was over the top, and i loved it. I'm liking that this season, the showrunner is mixing things up a bit. And while the musical number was a bit out of character for the series, it kinda makes sense. With the Toymaker's arrival, the rules of reality are being broken. For instance, when 15 duplicated 14's Tardis, its was the residual energys for the toymaker( and one could say the bi-generation itself was a result of that). With the defeat of The Maestro, the residual musical energy was still around, which is why everyone was dancing and singing. at least that's my headcannon.

This one definitely broke that 4th wall a bit, which probably irks me more than anything else. It was such a good episode though and my issue with that end musical number is Jinkx could have maybe made them do that routine mid episode and it would have made more sense. However maybe that musical number at the end will make sense by the end of the season. We'll see. It is likely to be a divisive episode, but even though it wasn't a fave of mine Jinkx' performance was outstanding in this. The season has started off quite well IMO.

Well, all the artforms are externalizations of inner emotional need. As Paula said, a catharsis, as is autistic stimming. The artforms that we have are accepted and long encultured languages. Of course, when artists have stepped out of the accepted forms, we have anything from mild controversy to outright hostility and anger - as happened with the impressionists back in the late 1800s who faced harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France and as with Jazz with it's improvision over traditional structure which was seen as barbaric and immoral. King George V was known to swear at flappers if he saw these young women and believed them to be a threat to the moral fibre of the nation. Margot Asquith, the wife of Prime Minister, Herbert Asquith, described him as a “dunderhead.” - a lunkhead or a dunce! I'm not immune to a bit of improvisation whilst doing the chores - sometimes around the tune of Grace's rabbit! It's a way to start the day. Mr Toaster sings along.

I suspect the 4th wall breaks are more than a gimmick. The Pantheon can rewrite reality, and given that the two we’ve met so far - The Toymaker and The Maestro - are tied directly to the concepts of artifice & performance, I suspect that The Doctor & Ruby are trapped in a kind of cosmic Truman Show. It may even turn out that Ruby isn’t “real,” but just a character made up by the big bad (The One Who Waits) for this cosmic production. Also, The One Who Waits is Susan. And The Doctor is an orphan from The Pantheon. Just my guesses.

[@aaronmcmahon7462]

I enjoyed this episode - apart from the musical number ending. Nice nods to the past, and Maestro is a villain of the time - if they were on 60s Batman, they'd fit right in. Maestro's personality reminded me of the titular Queen of Time - a lost story from the 2nd Doctors era and sequel to The Celestial Toymaker. Big Finish adapted it and its worth a listen. You might find some familiar tropes...

[@12chapin]

I think the day they go to is when Doctor Who started.

[@markdowling9020]

I will say this for RTD - pretty much every Who episode he's had a hand in, there's (just about always) a memorable concept, character and/or villain, unlike some showrunners where I'm looking at their series and can barely remember what happened in half their stories. Space Babies was a very weird concept, but I actually quite enjoyed it (despite me really not liking the episode it reminded me of, the one featuring the Adipose), and I'll definitely remember it in Doctor Who's history. Same for this one - I'll remember it for Maestro and some excellent musical nods, and gloss over the musical number at the end. I just presumed they'd finished editing and realised they were a few minutes short at the end of the episode. Next time they're short, they could do a filler like 'The Adventures of Ned Flanders', except it'd be, oh let's say, 'The Adventures of Cherry Sunday'.

I’m reminded of that Monte Python skit whet the characters were like “what’s that” and another would say “that’s the incidental music of the scene!” I guess they’re going back and forth between the types of music. The worst is probably when Maestro looks at the audience and starts playing the theme music. And it’s odd that he referred to diegetic music as if he knows he’s in a fictional world. It’s doubly weird because very recently I saw a ranking of various Doctors ability to break the 4th wall. I guess that video is going to require an update at some point. 😂
